"Jiaojie... Forget it, the king will go there in person! Jiaojie, get someone to prepare the horse."
Nangong Yue bent her knees slightly, and said, "The daughter-in-law is leaving first."
Nangong Yue deliberately did not tell King Zhennan what happened in front of the palace. Instead of telling it through her mouth, it would be better for King Zhennan to hear it with his own ears...
King Zhennan waved his hand and dismissed her.
Not long after, Ji Jiao reported back and forth that the horses were ready, so King Zhennan, dressed in casual clothes, hurried to Qiao's mansion.
As soon as he saw Mrs. Qiao, King Zhennan immediately ordered her to restrain his subordinates and stop talking nonsense.
This matter is related to Qiao Ruolan's boudoir reputation, Madam Qiao naturally did not neglect, and gave orders early in the morning, anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be directly shot.
Zhennan Wang finally relaxed when he heard this, and immediately asked Mrs. Qiao to quickly settle Qiao Ruolan's marriage.
Although she was surprised how King Zhennan would suddenly care about her daughter's marriage, Mrs. Qiao also knew that her daughter was not too young and the marriage should be settled, so she agreed wholeheartedly.
King Zhennan was in a good mood and nodded slightly, feeling that his sister did not bother him too much this time, but then, Mrs. Qiao said: "...brother, I actually want to tell you about this too! You should call Mr. Fu back first, and let him and Sister Lan settle the marriage."
King Zhennan was immediately annoyed.
If it is said that he used to think that it was a good idea to make Fu Yunhe his niece and son-in-law, but after Qiao Ruolan caused these incidents, he really felt that if he insisted on giving this niece to Fu Yunhe, I am afraid that he would have an enmity with Princess Yongyang's mansion .
What's more, this niece had repeatedly stated in the Zhilan courtyard that she did not want to marry Fu Yunhe.
I am a majestic vassal king, I still need face!
In the ear of King Zhennan, Mrs. Qiao was still rambling: "... I always thought that the third son Fu was good, with a good family background, young and talented, and now he has made a lot of military exploits. Is it a reward? There is no better candidate than my family's sister Lan. Brother, don't you think so?"
Right? How could the Qiao family be worthy of Yongyang Dachang Princess' mansion! King Zhennan sneered and said, "This king still remembers that Sister Lan kept saying that she was thinking of Marquis An Yi."
"That's Sister Lan's madness!" Mrs. Qiao said angrily, "I don't know what's going on with Marquis An Yi, who doesn't marry a wife at such an old age. Sister Lan is so fascinated... "
Even King Zhennan couldn't listen to these words. What does Marquis An Yi do if she marries a wife or not? !
Zhennan Wang's face was stern, and he said: "Elder sister, be careful! You are not someone who can talk about An Yihou."
Mrs. Qiao didn't take it seriously, but she didn't continue talking, she just said: "Anyway, brother, you hurry up and call Mr. Fu back, and make an appointment with Sister Lan..."
"Impossible." King Zhennan said without hesitation, "Elder Sister, you should find someone else, Mr. Fu is absolutely impossible."
"Brother!" Mrs. Qiao said incredulously, "Sister Lan is your niece, how could you treat her like this? Brother... Sister Lan has suffered so much this time, you must help her …”
"Enough is enough. No matter how much trouble Sister Lan suffers, she is responsible for it!" Zhennan Wang said angrily, and issued an ultimatum, "In short, Qiao Ruolan's marriage must be settled within one month. Otherwise, I will help her decide!"
King Zhennan left in a flick of his sleeves, and when he heard Mrs. Qiao crying and making noise behind him, he felt agitated for a while.
Shi Zifei is right, Qiao Ruolan's marriage is not settled for a day, and this matter will never end for a day, so hurry up and get married and forget it!
King Zhennan rode his horse out of Qiao's mansion, and when he was about to go back to his mansion, he saw several common people not far away pointing and nodding around. For some reason, King Zhennan had an ominous premonition and went up to ask.
Because he was wearing casual clothes, the people didn't know his identity, so they started sharing with him...
Qiao Ruolan hugged the man with disheveled clothes.
Qiao Ruolan undressed frantically in front of the public.
Qiao Ruolan disappeared for a few days, and was arrested and taken as Mrs. Yazhai.
…
There was a burst of "buzzing" in the ears of King Zhennan, as if everyone was laughing at himself, the dignified King of Zhennan, for having such a shameless niece...
How could the always good-looking King Zhennan bear it? !
When Nangong Yue woke up from a nap, she heard that King Zhennan had returned to the mansion, and Queer reported that King Zhennan was in a bad mood, and all the bellflowers serving in the study were scolded and crying.
Kikyo is nominally a maid, but everyone in the palace knows that she is an open-faced Tongfang. She has always followed the rules and is quite favored. Now that even Kikyo has been scolded, it is obvious that the king of Zhennan is in an extremely bad mood.
Nangong Yue nodded lightly, guessing that he probably heard the rumors outside.
This is just right, the current king of Zhennan must want to settle this matter more than anyone else...
Nangong Yue hooked the corners of her lips, with a half-smile.
Within two days, due to the government's intervention, Zhuangzi's case was finally "come to light".
A total of eighteen children were rescued from the Zhuangzi. Among these children, the oldest was eight years old, and the youngest was only four years old. They were all bought from Ren Yazi, and they had been locked up in this Zhuangzi as medicine men. , trial and error of various drugs... especially the effect of poison.
From the field behind Zhuangzi, the officials dug up about 30 corpses. Judging from the degree of decay, almost all of them were from five or six years ago to nearly a year. Most of them were children and some adults.
As soon as this incident happened, there was an uproar in Luoyue City, and King Zhennan couldn't have imagined that such a tragic thing would happen under his rule!
The King of Zhennan issued a strict order to find out who the owner of this Zhuangzi is, and who cruelly committed this series of evil deeds.
The prefect of Luo Yuecheng was trembling, and hurriedly sent someone to investigate.
And under the pressure of Zhennan King, Qiao Ruolan was also kept secret about that Zhuangzi. Except for a few people, no one knew that Qiao Ruolan almost became a "medicine man". However, the scene of her crazily running out of the carriage that day was seen by too many people, and it spread in Luoyue City in just two days.
At the beginning, it was spread among ordinary people, but later, many high-ranking households also heard about it.
Especially when it is passed on later, it is extremely fragrant and beautiful...
In just a few days, Qiao Ruolan's reputation can be said to have been discredited.
At first, Mrs. Qiao was busy taking care of her daughter who was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, so she couldn't take care of so much for a while. In addition, she had just quarreled with King Zhennan and forgot to ask him to give him a password. When she realized it, The rumors in the city have become more and more outrageous.
Mrs. Qiao was stunned as if struck by lightning. It took a long time to recover and realize that she had overlooked such an important issue.
Mrs. Qiao hugged her daughter and cried hysterically.
Crying and crying, Mrs. Qiao also calmed down. Her daughter's reputation has been ruined. If her illness continues to improve, this life will really be over. She heard from the elder nanny that her daughter's disease had to follow her wishes to recover easily. Since my daughter wants to marry An Yihou, let's marry... Children are debts!
Mrs. Qiao came to the Zhennan Palace in a hurry after crying, and she didn't care about the quarrel with Zhennan Wang Gang, she just begged him to help suppress the matter.
King Zhennan didn't expect that things would spread so quickly, so he immediately issued a strict order, but it was still too late.
Even though no one is talking about it on the surface, but in private, more versions have been derived...
There are many people with mixed opinions, and rumors are often embellished in word of mouth, and when they are passed back to Nangong Yue's ears, they are far from the truth.
"... Concubine Shizi, people are saying now that Miss Lanbiao actually eloped with her lover, but she was sold by the lover halfway to the dusty land, so not only her innocence was ruined, but also..." Que'er pointed his finger and said, " It's a little unclear here."
Nangong Yue was dumbfounded, and shook her head with a wry smile.
These days, Mrs. Qiao may be looking for famous doctors everywhere for her daughter's illness, probably because she thinks the good doctors in the Wangfu Good Medical Institute are not good. But Mrs. Qiao didn't think about it, Qiao Ruolan was on the cusp of the crisis, and the Qiao Mansion acted so vigorously, wouldn't it provide an opportunity for people to make irresponsible remarks.
It's so unwise.
This matter has reached the point where it is now, and it is very difficult to end it.
Zhou Roujia's matter was only discussed privately by a wealthy family in southern Xinjiang, which ruined her boudoir's reputation. Now Qiao Ruolan's matter can be said to be a rumor in the city, and the only thing she can rely on is her status. The eldest girl is tall, because she is the cousin of Zhennan Wangfu, no one dares to point fingers in person.
In this world, women are difficult.
Zhou Roujia was so cautious in her words and deeds that she almost missed her whole life. Qiao Ruolan... all these things now are caused by her herself.
